Yes there is a clash of cultures. Some Americans are zealous Christians, I am sure that they have bibles and like handing them out, although I would be most surprised if it was American official policy.
I know Australians build schools in Afghanistan, we also teach people. Is it a threat to Sharai law if our teachers teach Darwin's Evolution in Muslim schools, or is this again another religious threat to Islam, where fiction appears far more important than facts?
I do think it is totally PARANOID and SCHIZOPHRENIC that Muslims consider it a threat. After all if Sharia Islam is such a flawless and perfect legal system, how on earth, could any logic or alternative compete with it.
The conclusion is that in fact it is flawed, fragile and an antiquated system very prone to collapse. The goal posts are moving again, so now its the West vs all Muslims, how naive, so the very essence of Muslim society is under threat? What absolute nonsense.
Perhaps Sharia law deserves to fail if it is that fragile and imperfect.
Australia gets on very well with the largest Muslim population on earth, Indonesia, right on its door step. They have a few crackpot extremists who get a buzz murdering innocents, some of who were unfortunately executed recently. but the other 229 million are fine. (I do not condone Capital Punishmnt in any form. It is group murder)
But in shifting the goal posts Islamists seem to conveniently forget, The Taliban's Sharai Law public executions, beheadings hangings and lethal stonings at the soccer stadium, in Kahbul, the acid attacks, honor killings the ABSOLUTE REPRESSION OF WOMEN. The killing of schoolgirls. Burning Schools and blowing up hospitals, forgetting Salada Banana Binlardin, who murdered over 3000 innocents on 9/11.
These pigs need to be isolated immediately, for the sake of all mankind.
Cheers
